-did google it- .... -edits google to necrosis FISH- not people -.- one, says it is columnaris. But I watched a poor betta die in the store from columnaris, and it looked nothing like it o.o or is it saying it is a form of columnaris?
And a question. it says it originated from trout and salmon. How did it get to be, with fish like Bettas?

Why does every thread have to be closed when people start expressing their opinions, in a calm manner even?

probably because it IS an opinion and some people just can't handle it when someone else has something different to say. It's not just here, it's pretty much happens on every forum. When opinions get involved, it usually doesn't stay to calm for long. Plus there is usually a rift between Oldbies of the forums and NoObs. People who have been around longer sometimes resent new members and everything they have to say.

i am new here. i agree that civil disagreements are a wonderfu;l way for everybody to learn and share experiences, the phrase " but the fact that you're euthanizing fish without an attempt to save them pushed me over the edge" is quite intemperate. disagreeing ( a construcive thing) does not mean fllaming.

having said that i actually gotr alot out of the thread, which after all is the purpose of a forum.
